In this simple, beautifully written book, David Michie opens the door to the core teachings of Tibetan Buddhism. With wry, self-deprecating humour, he shows us how he began to incorporate Buddhist practices into his daily life.

Accumulation of karma is determined only by your intention and the way you respond to what is happening to you.
